BF Skinner found that pigeons could learn to peck a button to get food. Then, he found that they could peck a button when they saw a tree. This was amazing because he was showing them all sorts of trees, even ones they'd never seen before. Pigeons understood the CONCEPT of what a tree was. This is called...

Edward Tolman had three groups of rats. Group A got reinforced for running the maze. B did not. C did not at first, but in the second half of trials, started to. What Group C proved was that the rats had knowledge of the maze, but needed some reinforcement to achieve their full learning potential. Because their learning was "hidden", Tolman called it...
